Chapter Text
It was another calm and tedious night. Han was playing some games on his pc but he was getting bored since he was playing all day. His friends already had gone to sleep so he had no one to talk now. He stopped playing the game and grab his phone to scroll through social media to see if he would find something interesting to do but he didn't.
He was almost giving up and going to sleep when he remembered that one of his friends mentioned something about talking to someone in the dark web. Should he try it? He wasn't an idiot, he knew it was a dangerous place, but now he was curious. What kind of people would he find there? Were they all "bad" people? What if he found someone cool? He had to try.
So that's what he did. It wasn't easy going to the dark web, he had to watch some tutorials and read some advices before he actually went there. Most people said not to do it but he had already seen so many stuff about it, he didn't want to have wasted his time to not actually do it, so he proceed with his plan.
Before he tried actually going to the dark web, he search for a website in there that was for chatting and meeting people. He found a few suggestions but chose to go with the first one. When he was able to go the dark web he noticed that the place was kinda weird. There was some creepy url and stuff seemed a little off. He just typed the name of the website to meet people on the search bar and hoped it would work.
The website showed up but it looked weird, nothing like those he was used to. The layout was all black and the only thing that appeared on the screen was a chat. There was the little box for him to type something and that little paper airplane button right beside for him to click to send a message. He didn't know what to do. Should he type something? Was the website gonna sent his message to some random person or there was already someone waiting for him? He didn't have to think about it anymore since he apparently got a message.
Hi.
Okay. Someone was talking to him. Someone from the dark web. Should he answer it? What if he didn't? Would the person get mad and hack him? He decided to reply to see what would happen.
Hi!
Oh god. He sound ridiculous. Why did he put an exclamation point? The person would totally know he was new to this.
What brings you here?
Should he tell the truth? That he was bored and wanted to talk to someone? Or should he lie and say he worked there? He chose to go with the truth. If the person actually hacked him they would know he is lying.
I was bored so i decided to come here to see if I would find someone cool to chat.
The other person is typing. Han was really nervous.
It's your first time here?
Han chose to go with the truth again.
Yes.
Typing.
A bit risky to choose right this place to find someone, don't you think Han?
Shit.
They knew his name. He was screwed. Completely screwed. What should he do? Should he just leave the chat and throw his hole pc away? What was the person gonna do with the information they would get from Han? Would they give his address to someone dangerous? He really shouldn't have done this. He was starting to panic. His heart was beating really fast and his hands were sweaty.
Relax, I'm not gonna do anything bad. You're lucky you were directed to my chat. I'm not like the other guys in here.
Should he be more calm now? He wasn't. How could he even know if this guy was telling the truth? He was panicking really bad internally but he had to reply something or the person would think something was wrong.
How do you know my name?
Stupid question. How would they NOT know his name? They were a hacker. From the dark web. They probably knew a lot more than that.
Did you expect me to not know it?
They were right. It would be dumb to think someone from the dark web wasn't able to find out his name or anything about him.
Can I at least get yours? So we're even?
It's not like Han was asking for anything too personal. People would give their names to strangers all the time, right?
You can call me I.N.
Okay, that was definitely not their real name. Of course it wasn't. What hacker would just give their name to random people on the internet?
Are you a boy?
That wasn't too invasive right? He just wanted to know if they were a boy, nothing wrong with that.
Yes.
Okay, he had a nickname and his gender. He could do absolutely nothing with this information. Great.
Okay, cool. Me too. But I'm sure you already knew that.
I.N definitely knew that.
So Han, what do you like to do besides playing games and chatting with your friends till 2am?
Okay. That was some basic information anyone could get by just looking through his computer for five minutes, it wasn't anything extremely personal.
Thanks for pointing that out! (irony) I also really like drinking tea and writing some songs.
He wasn't lying. He really enjoyed doing that. And it was not like I.N could do much with this information.
Yeah, i saw some of your stuff. You have amazing writing skills. Have you ever thought about singing any of the songs you wrote?
Did a hacker just complimented him?
Thank you. And, yeah, i thought about singing, but I'm not sure I would be good at it.
Is he really talking about his insecurities with a guy he just met? That was not how he expected his night to go. But I.N seemed really nice, it was not Han's fault he was an easy person to talk.
I'm sure you would be great. Maybe you should try it some time.
That was kind of him.
Yeah, maybe I will.
But what about you? What do you like to do? Besides hackers stuff.
Was that too much? He was just joking but what if I.N got mad? He wouldn't. Not for a silly joke. Well, Han was hoping he wouldn't.
Very funny Han. But as a matter of fact, i also enjoy drinking tea. I like to draw as well. The hacker stuff is just a hobbie.
Who the fuck chooses to be a hacker as a hobbie?
Oh okay. What's your favorite tea?
Lame question.
Chamomile. Yours?
Great coincidence. Chamomile was also Han's favorite tea.
Same.
He was enjoying talking to I.N, he was a really nice guy. A little creepy because he had hacking people as a hobbie but he was cool. Although it was being fun talking to him, it was really late, and Han should probably go to sleep. He was gonna meet his friends tomorrow so he should get some rest before that.
Hey I.N, i really enjoyed talking to you but i probably should go to sleep. It's kinda late so i think it's better if I rest a little.
Okay, i enjoyed talking to you as well. And don't worry, I'm not gonna do anything with the information I have about u. Have a great night.
Wait. He had more information about Han?
Wait. What information?
Oh boy. He was starting to get nervous again.
Just the ones you have on your pc. Like your address, full name, the name of your friends an family, your photos, you know, anything you have there i already know.
OH, GREAT! FANTASTIC! A complete stranger had access to basically all his personal information. That's just awesome! What should he do now? Should he just format his whole computer and pretend like nothing happened?
But as I said. Don't worry. I'm not gonna do anything with it.
Was he supposed to just believe that? Was he gonna believe that? The guy didn't seemed dangerous but should he really trust him?
Oh okay. I'll trust you then.
Was he? It's not like he had much choice. The guy already knew everything anyway. He decided to trust him. He hoped he made the right decision.
He was a little afraid now that he knew the guy had basically all his information, but he still wanted to talk more to him. Would I.N just give his number if Han asked?
Before I go, there's any chance I could get your number?
Typing.
I'll text you soon. Bye.
With that, he left the chat. Of course I.N already has his number. Oh boi, that was a long night. Han turned off his pc and went to sleep. It took him some time to fall asleep since he had the conversation replaying on his mind. But he could think about it in the morning.
